Fire in the mountains

Actually this weekend I have a plan to climb Mount Gede. Too bad that it closed until the end of September 2012. The park office decided that it was too risky to open the mountain for climbing in this dry season. Especially after there were some cases of forest fire in some mountains, like Papandayan, Slamet, Agung, etc. Some said that the fire happened because dry season is so intense this year, but it also happened after some hikers built fires carelessly during their camping in the mountains.
